IQ

I wonder, how were the artists of our Oriel Cynefin inspired? 

L.O: To give feedback as an audience

 

What do you already know about art galleries?

 

Before we start this IQ, let's walk around the Oriel Cynefin. Art galleries are usually quiet spaces, where people think about if they like a piece and what the story might be behind the piece. What inspired the artist? How does it make them feel? What colours have they used? Why? It's a time to reflect and connect with the art, allowing us to think about our own thoughts, experiences and opinions! Let's try it.
